The four Vanguardians were teleported back to the station, where they found Adem 'thinking out loud' with the help of Jym, in front of all the others, that simply observed with eagerness and curiosity.
{Ziggy Stardust:
So where were the spiders while the fly tried th break our balls?
Just a beer light to guide us
So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands?
Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we was voodoo...}
"Voodoo..." Adem repeated. "Metahuman zombies crushed Cavalli's hands. The clue we found in that scene was the logo of the band called 'Queen'... And in the next murder scene..."
{Bohemian Rhapsody:
Mother, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead}
"...Jack Merlin was found shot in the head," Adem contined. "The clue in that murder scene showed the logo belonging to 'The Doors', and in the next murder..."
{The End:
The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He chose a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He came into the room where his sister lived, and then he
He paid a little visit to his brother, and then he...
He walked on down the hallway, bay-beee!!!}
"No need to get excited, Jym..."
"{I'm just being loyal to Ian Astbury's interpretation... Jim is dead, and we need to face that and move on, man.}"
Adem nodded slowly, no clue as to what Jym was talking about in his head. "Continue, please..."
{He came to a door
And he looked inside
"Father?"
"Yes, son?"
"I want to kill you"
"Mother? I want to--"}
"I think that's enough," Adem interrupted. "Everything there seems to be consistent with the murder scene. First the daughter, then the son, then the father. The clue in that scene pointed us in the direction of a band called 'Pink Floyd'..."
{One of the early songs is called 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene'. It consists of nothing but a pendulum-like noise raising in intensity, followed near the end of the song by a horrible scream.}
"And that fits Grimm's experience, I'm guessing?" Adem said, looking at the death avatar.
"Accurately," Grimm replied, putting a hand over the now closed but still horribly large scar in his chest. "The clue he left me was a 'J'..."
"Can I see it?" Adem asked.
"Uhhh, no..." Grimm scratched the back of his skull.
"But it doesn't really matter, does it," Grissom added, "'cause we already know he wanted to kill me with a bloody Johnny Lennon song, the bastard..."
{Working Class Hero:
There's room at the top, they're telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile when you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill}
"The killer didn't have a chance to leave a clue this time, obviously," Adem said. "So we're back to square one. Even after all we now know we don't know who the killer is, who his next victim will be, or even how he's supposed to kill them..."
{Well, fuck me in the ass and call me Cindy!} Jym exclaimed, completely out of the blue.
"What song is that?!" Brian Dead said.
"...Jym...?" Adem said, raising an eyebrow while he looked down at his wrist, his way of demanding an explanation.
{Uh, sorry... That's what Dr McGregor says when he makes a great discovery...}
Adem just shook his head semi-diagonally, trying to replicate the way humans shook heads the best he could.
{B-Beep...?}
"...just tell us what you found..."
